How to get it to run?

As of now, i only got this to work by making a windows 7 virtual machine, remove the floppy drive and make sure to give it 3GB of memory and 1 cpu core. Install the vmtools and run the game after mounting it to the disc drive into the virtual machine. Install the quicktime that's included into the iso. If you have an issue with installing the vmware tools you can use the supplied Windows6.1-iso to get the .msu file into the machine if your internet doesn't work. That way you can get the vmware tools installed so that music sounds perfect.

Tip: Lock the scaling of the vm by going into the vm it's settings, and in display choose stretch mode and keep the astpect ratio.

Tested so far and the game is playable.

Productbeschrijving

De lang verwachte opvolger van de top-cd-rom Meesters van Macht. In het hart van internet bevond zich ooit een rustige, vredige plek: het Dream Wide Web (DWW).

Helaas heeft een bezeten Hacker die plek in bezit genomen. De inwoners was het DWW zijn niet opgewassen tegen de Hacker. Ze hebben iemand nodig die de genadeloze Hacker eindelijk een lesje leert: een Webmaster! Het belangrijkste wapen dat de speler ter beschikking staat is (net als op internet) informatie. De speler moet zoveel mogelijk informatie verzamelen en mag hiervoor gebruikmaken van alle tools op het web, zoals forums, nieuwsgroepen, zoekmachines en de browser. Dit schitterend vormgegeven spel is de ultieme uitdaging voor de jonge avonturier. Laat zien dat jij de Hacker te slim af bent!

[PC CD-ROM] [Late 90s/Early 2000s] Traverse the web through tunnels and collect cards to open up more ports/firewalls to progress further to reach the scientist polluting the lake

Webmaster

Hello everyone!

Estimated year of release and platform: This morning, out of the blue I got a flashback to a very old game I played on a Windows computer. I think I played this game when I was 8 years old, so somewhere close to the year 2000 or a bit later.

It was a game that I played on a Windows computer (think on XP definitely before Vista). I can't imagine the game could've been played on consoles.

Genre: I think the genre of the game is a point-and-click adventure. The way you moved from one place to another was through the internet web.

Graphics/art style: I remember the art style to be realistic, I think something that comes near it is: "Heartland Deluxe (AGS) Free 3D CGI Point and Click Adventure Game Panorama Maniac Psychology" but only the art style somewhat.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

The game I try to remember is about going through the web with your cursor. Cards were on the ground everywhere in the room you got in (more like a pipe where you got out of). The cards had a picture of an object on it. These were used to make progress in the game. I can remember what the first code of cards was like. You needed a card with a dart board, one with dart arrows, and a card with the arrow's wings on it.

I think it's centered around a 'hacking' theme, and you had to stop the scientist who polluted the river with its elixirs and other weird experiments that didn't bring the result he was looking for.

Other details:

I strongly remember there was a river that was polluted heavily by a scientist. Throughout your journey you revisited the lake but from different angles.

The game had some red lights that represented "viruses" that behaved like flies that didn't attack you but were against you. (Like the red lums from Rayman, but they have small black dotted eyes).

The game started vaguely and to progress in the first place, you had to click on one of the three gloves that hung from the ceiling. Your mouse would go into the chosen glove and you could get out of the first room you were in.

It was a very dark atmosphere, no tutorial. And it was tedious going from one place to another. There was a minigame where you could put a few of your cards on a hanging bowl, playing against a red(they changed color the more you angered them by clicking on them) virus the minigame was air hockey.

A very, very vague and might be incorrect piece of information. My dad gave me the game because he opened a bank account for me. I don't believe this might've been true. The disk/cover wasn't anything a bank would've given. The art back then was from the postbank (a blue lion, it was the predecessor of the current brand ING) from the Netherlands. But again I doubt this piece of information is true.

I'm quite sure that the game is orientated as hacking or in that term. Not really any hacking but you went through the web.

This is pretty much the most details I can give out of my memory.

I hope someone can help me with this, I have no clue what the name could be. But it was so vague and I'm curious to play it again. The game is not a dos game but Windows 98 - XP era.

If you've been reading my post I want to thank you already for your interest. I hope someone remembers it with this vague description.

Again thank you for your help,
